Unfortunately libevent doesn't really support Windows except by means of gcc/autotools and some other complicated steps. Given that we only support our binary Visual Studio builds, getting libevent to run well on Windows would be not very fruitful. We might revisit this if and when libevent will support Visual Studio. Until then, I'm marking this as won't fix.
